Small awards, but mean a lot

OTK Custom DBInstaller, a small little software component for software developers, although has just been released for less than one month, it keeps receiving series of awards from various shareware download sites. Today, I received an email from another site, Softpedia.com, telling me that my Custom DBInstaller has been awarded as "100% Clean Award":
Although I never thought of purposely making my software products clean from spyware and adware, such an award is definitely a very encouraging and motivating one. Perhaps this is the style of an US culture, and I love this culture very much.
This makes me recall when I was a kid. My dad used to praise me infront of others that I’m an honest kid and I never lied. Although I never had an intention to impress my dad, he just broadcast this to everyone infront of me. I know he just wanted to take this approach to encourage me to be an honest man. I don’t know whether this approach works on anyone of you here, but it definitely works on me, espcially the compliments that came from my dad. I will never forget every single word that he told me and tought me.
Dad, whether your philosophy is still working or no longer working in this new era, I will continue to stick on it, no matter what. Because by doing that, then only I can feel that you are by my side, forever. I miss you, always.

Congratulation for your unbreakable strength to achieve your dream.
